I propose Chinese lessons with an approach based on concrete cases that will allow you to really improve, in writing, reading and especially oral.

Whether you are beginner, intermediate or advanced, I will adapt my courses to your level. We can also direct learning according to your preferences and needs, for example to acquire the minimum vocabulary for a trip to China, learning a vocabulary specific to a business area, or the training for passing an exam.

Bilingual teacher in English (TEFL), I lived in China for five years, during which I taught at all ages (from 2 to 50), and all levels.

I believe that oral communication is the main objective to be achieved when learning a language, however a written practice in parallel is essential in order to maximize the learning time.

Dynamic, I can adapt to the needs of my students after an initial interview so that I can define together the goals you have set for yourself.

Do not hesitate to contact me if you need more information!

I taught French as well as theater in Alliance Française abroad (in Tianjin, China). During my two years in Tianjin I taught Chinese children as well as adults. So I speak Chinese (Mandarin) and also understand the dialect spoken in Sichuan (Sichuan hua in pinyin).

I also taught English in China at the International Institute of Education (i2 in Chengdu, Sichuan). This time, the age range of my students was from 2 years old to 18 years old and the students were divided into classes of 1 to 6 students.

I have also worked on several occasions with people with disabilities in France (in particular with people with aphasia).

Through these experiences I reinforced my sense of interpersonal skills, my pedagogy and my sense of listening to manage to best help my students to achieve their goals. I of course know how to be patient and adapt to the rhythm and needs of each of my students, thanks to numerous training courses followed throughout my course.
